  3. I certainly opiate rx's should be limited, however I also think addicts or long term users should have options to declare themselves as such and get what they need without black markets.

    I wish the pro life people would figure this out. You can't ban social problems, you can only manage the causes. If pregnancy wasn't a $10k condition that caused loss of life, evictions, long term economic uncertainty; abortions would decrease naturally.

  4. Some might posit the is an area between people you want to contact you and people you will shoot if they do.

  5. I'll check it out. thanks

  6. My children's school uses Ipads, which have a child ID option. It requires you to have a different apple device with an adult apple ID or the school can use a special process to create child ID's.
    My school will not create ID's and I don't have apple devices so my only option is to create ID's for my children and say they are over 13. The school says I'm technically creating an ID for me and just letting my kids use my ID.

    I've gone through some pretty convoluted processes to try and work around this, but nothing works.

    There is no included CIFS/SMB client for Ipad. There are some paid products in the app store, but no free ones.

  8. Re:Active Directory etc on Microsoft Open Source Tool Lets You 'Bring Your Own Linux' To Windows (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    A constant problem I have experienced is Windows systems will auto populate themselves into MS DNS. Linux systems will not, even if they are joined to the domain.
    Sometimes I've had success using 'nsupdate' to add the entry, but the DNS server seems to forget them periodically.

  9. The problem is, you can't.

  10. Re:Schools don't normally repair iPads... on Schools Won't Like How Difficult the New iPad Is To Repair (ifixit.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm a parent who has argued plenty about Ipads. It's like yelling into a void. My district doesn't even take advantage of the program to create apple ID's for under 13 year old students. We rent from the school and they do nothing to manage them. They send us a list of "free" apps to install.
    Since I don't have another apple device, I can't create a child account and my kids are stuck with "over age 13" accounts.

    I've contacted the district, the EFF, and anyone who will listen.
    The district next door seems to have no problem creating child account, but mine, sucks at technology.

    Otherwise it's a great district. I'm thinking of running for the school board.

    Your spreading incorrect FUD:
    https://www.eugdpr.org/gdpr-fa...

    What are the penalties for non-compliance? Organizations can be fined up to 4% of annual global turnover for breaching GDPR or €20 Million. This is the maximum fine that can be imposed for the most serious infringements e.g.not having sufficient customer consent to process data or violating the core of Privacy by Design concepts. There is a tiered approach to fines e.g. a company can be fined 2% for not having their records in order (article 28), not notifying the supervising authority and data subject about a breach or not conducting impact assessment. It is important to note that these rules apply to both controllers and processors -- meaning 'clouds' will not be exempt from GDPR enforcement
